FROM A SPARK TO A FLAME.

A few weeks ago a couple of young gen
tlemen of the city became offended at each
other at party and at the same time both
thous htthey had sufficient cause to censure
one Of the society bellies of the occasion. As
a matter of respect the irate feelings vert
smothered at that time temporarily, and
but few noticed the unpleasantness.
the next day the two gentlemen met on
First street near the po>toffice. Both had
the courage to speak of the occasion and
the matter was discussed for some
time. The anger of the previou,
evening had not in either cast
slb>ided and it took but a few remarks
such as they were. to increase the vigor OF
TIL flames. Both had too much respect for
themselves and friends to allow themselves
t. be noticed especially upon the occasion,
but with difficulty, it seems, restrained from
all barbarious customs They finally separ
ated and being more inclted against each
other, correspondiDg'y more angry at ii 9
third party. 1t seems that both made them
selves the author of what may be termed
high toned disrespectful note and sent with
accustomed pomp to the young lady. These
were shown to brother, aud he being
brother indeed. became interested in the
matter He did not commit himself on
paper but personally appeared before each
o. the two gents and read the riot act to
tn-m without lowering the curtain. This
simply served as more fuel to the flame and
now what's the situation One of them
seems to have had the indiscretioa to send
the other bid to a sunrise meeting with
coffee for four and pops for two. The re-
cever had the pluck to accept. This fact
spread like wild fire among their respective
friends aad they bring friends to each other
commenced vigorous work TO place a blanket
over the whole affair. They spent somr
time in riiiculing the idea Of such rashnes>
and explained the disgrace that would fol-
low, but the young blood was warm and the
temperature still rising. Despite their united
efforts the matter has not been settled and
their efforts to keep this ol;sid3 world from
knowing the situation unsuccessful.
